Review
'Turbo-charged by the palpable rage and desperation of its hero ... the narrative rips along on a tide of beautifully observed dialogue' TLS. (TLS)
From the Back Cover
It is 1962. The first avocado pears are appearing at the greengrocer's, people are thinking about carpeting their lavatories and boxing in their banisters, and Ronnie Glover, housepainter, husband and father, is feeling the first vague stirrings of discontent with his life.
Then, out of the blue, the fabulous, sophisticated (and married) Jacqueline bursts into his life and teaches him to tango. She seems to offer everything he ever dreamt of. But is it all too good to be true? What can a woman who has travelled the world want with a man who carries a stub of pencil behind his ear? And are the Ten O'Clock horses of Ronnie's painful childhood awake and sniffing the wind?

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First. Binding blue cloth with silver lettering on spine. Dj now protected inside a cover. It is 1962. The first avocado pears are appearing at the greengrocer's, people are thinking about carpeting their lavatories and boxing in their bannisters, and Ronnie Glover, housepainter, husband and father, is feeling the first vague stirrings of discontent with his life. These stirrings have something to do with the sight of Mary Tyler Moore's legs on television, but there is more to it than that. Hungry for new experiences, Ronnie feels he should be learning foreign languages, sipping wine, and becoming a very different kind of painter. Then, out of the blue, the fabulous, sophisticated (and married) Jacqueline bursts into his life and teaches him to tango. She seems to offer everything he ever dreamt of. But is it all too good to be true? What can a woman who has travelled the world want with a man who carries a stub of pencil behind his ear? And are the Ten O'Clock horses of Ronnie's painful childhood awake and sniffing the wind? Beautifully observed, at once poignant and hilariously funny, Laurie Graham's portrait of suffering man at the dawn of the permissive era makes for a novel that is both unputdownable and unforgettable.
